Cuticular Waxes in Altered Environments and Their Role in Leaf Water Loss Dynamics
ABSTRACT Cuticular waxes undeniably form the primary barrier restricting uncontrolled water loss from leaves, yet the functional consequences of environmentally induced wax modifications for residual (cuticular) transpiration remain a matter of debate. This review summarises current knowledge on how major abiotic stimuli influence foliar cuticular wax ...

ABSTRACT Mesophyll conductance (gm) is a key component of internal CO2 diffusion and can limit photosynthesis in C3 leaves. Temperature responses of gm are commonly treated as intrinsic properties of the leaf, yet it remains unclear whether they acclimate to growth conditions. Here, we tested whether growth temperature alters the thermal sensitivity of

Daily Heat Stress Induces Donor‐Side Limitation of PSI Via Downregulation of the Cyt b6f Complex
ABSTRACT The rapidly warming climate is driving increasingly frequent and intense heat waves worldwide, posing major challenges to plant metabolism and growth. Despite the central role of photosynthesis in plant growth, the effects of prolonged heat stress on the primary reactions of photosynthesis remain poorly understood.

ABSTRACT Tropospheric ozone (O3) reduces crop productivity, but the sites at which ozone alters photosynthetic electron transport remain unclear. We tested whether acute exposure to O3 shifts the dominant site of electron transport limitation in a cultivar‐specific manner, rather than causing a uniform decline in PSII function.

Leaf Structure and Hormonal Balance Modulate Host‐Specificity and Pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, a highly successful necrotrophic fungal plant pathogen, demonstrates a remarkably broad host range, yet the precise factors governing its host specificity and its ability to coexist non‐pathogenically with plants remain unclear. This study systematically assessed host preference in a series of B. cinerea agricultural isolates,
